i was wondering if anyone has any information in whether or not a Thunderwing figure will ever be made. cause i think a Universe Ultra Thunderwing would rule

While there is no word of it. Hasbro has been keeping the license for the name fresh for the past 4-5 years. Armada Thunderwing who was a minicon was the first reuse of the name since it's inception in 1989 with the beloved (and slightly mad) G1 character. It was later renewed again for the use of the Autobot minicon jet in the Classics Clear Skies Team 3 pack in 2007. Due to this need to keep the name licensed and with IDW's comics keeping the character in the picture, I would say it's not IMPOSSIBLE that we might get some kind of Thunderwing toy based on his G1 likeness.

I'd love to see a IDW Thunderwing (along with some of there other stuff).

Whatever happened to the dak-sterpiece Thunderwing?

I just need to get back into Thunderwing mode.

Hopefully Hasbro doesn't do anything about the character until AFTER i'm done.

What he has so far is phenominal.

I saw it at TFCon, and it's great already.

Last time he posted, there wasn't that much done as I recall. Some lame-o Nova Prime project took over. :p

The faster you work on it, the better your chances are.

Yeah - it was only half-done. But what WAS done was awesome.

Yea, Even in those pics it's missing some of the more recent detail. The pipes on the body are not all there, the spikes on his shoulders are missing, and his forearms are missing the detail.

Someone must have some pics from the Panel....

Wait a sec.... here are some...

But Back on topic, I think it would be neat to see a new official version of thunderwing.... after I finish mine. :P
